Chapter 289: Chapter 289: He Feels Like He’s Seen Her Somewhere Before
This year’s basketball tournament champion is A University!
Wow!
All the students from A University rushed up, surrounding the basketball players on the court. Everyone was cheering and screaming, with excitement and joy radiating from their faces.
The students from various schools in the audience also stood up, applauding warmly, sincerely congratulating A University.
Soon, the judges announced the champions, runners-up, and third place of this basketball tournament, and the captains of the basketball teams from the three universities went on stage to receive their awards. Conner Wright received flowers and the championship trophy.
The host handed the microphone to Conner Wright, "Captain Conner, everyone knows that A University has always been the perpetual runner-up, but this time you broke the curse and won the championship, and you personally even played despite your injury. May I ask, what was your greatest motivation this year?"
Conner Wright held up the heavy championship trophy in his hand and smiled, "Because this year our A University had the best cheerleading team, so we wanted to become the champion basketball team. We want to tell you that our A University is the best, and the people of A University are the best!"
The sweaty young man spread these words powerfully to everyone’s ears, striking everyone’s hearts, prompting rounds of applause and resulting in the most enthusiastic clapping throughout the venue.
A University!
A University!
A University!
T University, the perennial champion, completely became the background, forgotten by everyone. Vice Principal Chaucer of T University had a look of extreme displeasure. How could he have imagined a day when A University would become the brightest star, receiving all the attention?
No, this is not real.
Vice Principal Chaucer didn’t want to accept this reality at all. He turned his head and looked towards Principal Tucker who had a fatherly smile the whole time, standing next to a slender and graceful figure, Serena Sterling.
Vice Principal Chaucer’s gaze was immediately drawn to Serena Sterling. It was also the first time he looked at Serena seriously. The girl’s petite and exquisite face carried a soft smile, also clapping, with an aura that was indifferent yet calm, and... distinguished. It seemed like she wasn’t surprised at all, as if A University winning the championship was within her expectations.
Vice Principal Chaucer was momentarily dazed.
At this time, it seemed the girl sensed his gaze and turned her head to look over.
Vice Principal Chaucer instantly met Serena Sterling’s clear and bright eyes, the girl looking at him, giving a slight, polite nod with an elegant demeanor.
Vice Principal Chaucer’s heart skipped a beat. This girl made him feel... so familiar, he really seemed to have seen her somewhere before.
But, he couldn’t remember.
Vice Principal Chaucer felt like he had missed some important detail, or perhaps, this girl whom he once turned away was making him start to regret it.
At this moment, Principal Tucker also looked over, his face full of spring breeze. Over the years, he had always been ridiculed and oppressed by Vice Principal Chaucer, and now Vice Principal Chaucer had become his defeated opponent. This feeling was truly... wonderful! Indescribably wonderful!
"Old Man Chaucer, what did I say, let’s wait and see who laughs last, who is the real winner, thanks for letting us win this year haha." Principal Tucker laughed heartily.
Vice Principal Chaucer was shaking with anger, finally snorting coldly, turning away, no longer looking at the "arrogant" expression of Principal Tucker.
He feared that if he continued looking, he’d end up bald next!
...
The basketball tournament officially ended. A University achieved a grand slam, while T University was in a dire state, with William Alden and others still feeling apprehensive.
William Alden found Serena Sterling, "Serena Sterling, your A University has already won the championship as you wished, now hand over the U-disk to us!"
Conner Wright, Tiana Ford, and others surrounded Serena Sterling, with Tiana linking arms with Serena and snorted, "Why should we give you the U-disk? Why are you so nervous, did you just admit that you were behind the attacks on Captain Conner Wright?"
William Alden’s expression changed, "You...what nonsense are you talking? We didn’t hit anyone..."
"Oh, really?" Serena Sterling’s clear voice rang out as she lifted the U-disk in her hand, "Since you didn’t hit anyone, I’ll just call the police now. Once the police arrive, I’ll hand over the U-disk, and the truth will come out."
Saying this, Serena Sterling took out her phone, preparing to make a call.
William Alden, already broken by the prolonged torment and competition failure, couldn’t withstand any intimidation. If this situation was reported, it would stain his life.
"Serena Sterling, don’t call the police!" William Alden quickly spoke up.
Serena Sterling put away her phone, her clear and sharp eyes fixed on William Alden intimidatingly, "So now you apologize!"
Apologize?
William Alden stiffened.
Serena Sterling looked to Conner Wright beside her, "Senior Conner, I now demand they apologize to you. If they truly apologize, then let the matter end here."
"Serena," Tiana promptly nudged Serena Sterling, whispering, "We can’t let them off so easily, they broke Senior Conner’s arm with their malicious intent!"
Serena Sterling replied gently, "Tiana, we’re all classmates, there’s no need to be relentless."
"Alright!" Conner Wright nodded, "Serena, I’ll listen to you in everything, if they apologize to me, I won’t pursue it further!"
Serena Sterling looked at William Alden and his group, "Have you thought it through? There’s only one chance, once missed, it’s gone! Whoever laid a hand on Senior Conner, step forward right now and apologize formally!"
William Alden and the group were already wavering, now they exchanged glances, preparing to step forward.
At this moment, Anabelle Rathborne stepped up and tugged at William Alden, shaking her head, "Senior William, don’t listen to Serena Sterling. If you step out, it’s equivalent to admitting it!"
William Alden quickly shook off Anabelle Rathborne’s hand, "Otherwise, you can’t save us!"
"I..." Anabelle Rathborne was speechless.
William Alden and the other three who acted stepped out, looking at Conner Wright, they bowed, "It was the four of us who covered your head with a sack and attacked you, your right arm was broken by me, Conner, we’re sorry!"
They formally apologized.
Conner Wright snorted, "For Serena’s sake, this matter is over."
William Alden and others lifted their heads, "Serena Sterling, we’ve apologized, can you return the U-disk to us now?"
"Here." Serena Sterling decisively handed the U-disk in her hand to William Alden.
William Alden quickly threw the U-disk on the ground, stomping it to destruction, eliminating the evidence.
Serena Sterling looked at them coldly, "Let’s go."
The people from A University followed Serena Sterling and left, disappearing from sight.
William Alden breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up, "Senior William, look quickly, Vice... Vice Principal Chaucer!"
William Alden’s heart skipped a beat, he quickly looked up and soon saw Vice Principal Chaucer with a steely expression, along with Principal Tucker.
Principal Tucker snorted coldly, "Old Man Chaucer, are these the students of T University? You need to give me an explanation for this, or we should head to the conference hall and discuss thoroughly whether it was your negligence as vice principal that led to educating such students, hmm!"
Principal Tucker flicked his sleeve and left.
William Alden’s heart suddenly chilled.
